Legal tech company Filevine has made a decisive move to conquer the legal document workflow, acquiring Pincites, a sophisticated AI tool for contract drafting and redlining that operates natively within Microsoft Word. This strategic buyout will integrate the entire Pincites team and its technology into Filevine’s Legal Operating Intelligence System (LOIS), creating what the company is branding as “LOIS for Word.” The goal is to embed advanced AI capabilities directly where legal professionals work most: their documents.
The acquisition signals an aggressive and well-funded strategy to build a truly end-to-end litigation platform. It follows Filevine’s 2025 purchase of Parrot (now Depositions by Filevine) and is fueled by staggering momentum, including 120% growth in its LegalAI category and a massive $400 million funding round. By uniting Pincites’ document intelligence with its existing case and deposition management tools, Filevine aims to create a unified system where contracts, briefs, and depositions are no longer siloed but are interconnected assets within a single, intelligent platform.

Here’s why this acquisition is so significant:
This is a decisive move to win the legal tech market. The new battleground isn’t about a single impressive function, but about delivering a comprehensive suite of integrated tools. Filevine is consolidating the entire legal workflow – from case management to depositions and now document drafting – into a unified platform. The ambition is to become the indispensable operating system for legal work, forcing competitors who only solve one piece of the puzzle to become irrelevant.
